The material and mechanical properties in the high temperature area of 40 to 100 MPa high strength concrete structural member was identified based on mixing of fiber cocktail and the structural element fire behavior simulation through the finite element analysis method (ABAQUS) was interpreted. The results are as follows. First, it was interpreted that the test specimen with concrete fiber cocktail mixed was more controllable in the maximum shrinkage than the one with concrete fiber cocktail not mixed the controllable range was about 25% to 55%. This means that shrinkage is controllable through mixing of fiber cocktail for the high strength concrete columns. Second, this study didn't consider the explosive spalling by the pore pressure within high strength concrete. If the properties for the pore pressure within high strength concrete is considered and database by strength and by inner temperature of various high strength concrete and steel materials are established in the future, it is interpreted that the technical foundation will be laid for performance based design of fire resistant construction.

The Taylor expansion expresses a differentiable function and its coefficients provide good approximations for the given function and its derivatives. In this study, m-th order Taylor Polynomial is constructed and the coefficients are computed by the Moving Least Squares method. The coefficients are applied to the governing partial differential equation for solid problems including crack problems. The discrete system of difference equations are set up based on the concept of point collocation. The developed method effectively overcomes the shortcomings of the finite difference method which is dependent of the grid structure and has no approximation function, and the Galerkin-based meshfree method which involves time-consuming integration of weak form and differentiation of the shape function and cumbersome treatment of essential boundary.

In this study, an adaptive node generation procedure in the radial point interpolation method is proposed. Since we set the initial configuration of nodes by subdivision of background cell, abrupt changes of inter-nodal distance between higher and lower error regions are unavoidable. This unpreferable nodal spacing induces additional errors. To obtain the smoothy nodal configuration, it's regenerated by local Delaunay triangulation algorithm This technique was originally developed to generate a set of well-shaped triangles and tetrahedra. To demonstrate the performance of proposed scheme, the results of making optimal nodal configuration with adaptive refinement method are investigated for stress concentration problems.

진동가속도를 감지하는 힘평형 서보 가속도계의 성능특성을 결정하는 질량지지 장치를 4개의 팔로 구성된 형태로 설계하고 응답특성을 조사하였다. 스프링의 길이, 폭, 두께에 따른 질량지지 장치의 응답특성을 유한요소법을 이용하여 계산하고, 이를 바탕으로 힘평형 서보 가속도계의 감도, 사용주파수 범위 및 동적 범위를 예측하였다. 그리고 레이저 간섭계를 이용하여 힘평형 서보 가속도계의 각각의 진동 주파수 및 가속도의 크기에 따른 간섭무의 수의 변화와 이때의 응답전압간을 이용하여 가속도계의 응답특성을 측정하였으며, 수치해석을 통해 얻은 결과와 비교 분석하였다.

The finite element method(FEM) presents some limitations when the mesh becomes highly distorted. For analysis of metal forming processes with large deformation, the conventional finite element method usually requires several remeshing operations due to severe mesh distortion. The new computational method developed in the recent years, usually designated by meshfree method, offers an attractive approach to avoid those time-consuming remeshing efforts. This new method uses a set of points to represent the problem domain with no need of an additional mesh. Also this new generation of computational method provides a higher rate of convergence than that of the conventional finite element methods. One of the promising applications of meshfree methods is the adaptive refinement for problems having multi-scale nature. In this study, an adaptive node generation procedure is proposed and also to illustrate the efficiency of proposed method, several numerical examples are presented.

Meshfree approximations exhibit significant Potential to solve partial differential equations. Meshfree methods have been successfully applied to various problems which the traditional finite element methods have difficulties to handle including the quasi-static and dynamic fracture, large deformation problems, contact problems, and strain localization problems. Reproducing Kernel Particle Method (RKPM) is used in this research fur to its built-in feature of multi-resolution. the sound mathematical foundation and good numerical performance. A formulation of RKPM is reviewed and numerical examples are given to verify the accuracy of the proposed meshfree method for largely deformed elasto-plastic material.

This paper is concerned with the nonlinear hyperelastic problem fur the incompressible characteristics of the rubber. Tension sensor is a strain gage type load cell element for a fence intrusion detection system and consists of the sensing part and the rubber housing. The analysis includes an elastic analysis and a hyperelastic analysis of a tension sensor for the deformed shape and variation of the maximum strain on the sensing part with respect to the vertical load. Numerical results show that the hyperelastic model is stiffer and less deformed than the elastic model. Comparing with the experimental test data, we know the hyperelastic model is the better approximation than the elastic model.

For the accurate analysis of crack problems, considerable nodal refinement near the crack tip to capture singular stress field with sufficient accuracy to provide a useful computation of stress intensity factor is required. So, in this paper, adaptive nodal refinement scheme is proposed where nodes in restricted cell regions centered at crack tip are arranged in array for enhanced spatial resolution and adaptivity. With only cell-wise adaptive refinement scheme around crack tip fields, singularity of crack tip is sufficiently described to expect a successive crack propagate direction. Through numerical tests, accuracy of the proposed adaptive scheme is investigated and compared with the finite element and experimental results. By this implementation, it is shown that high accuracy is achieved by using iterative cell-wise solution method fur analyzing crack propagation problems.

In this paper, RKPM is extended for solving moderately thick and thin beams. General Timoshenko beam theory is used for formulation. Shear locking is the main difficulty in analysis of these kinds of structures. Shear relaxation factor, which is formulated using the difference between bending and shear strain energy, and corrected shear rigidity are introduced to overcome shear locking. Analysis results obtained reveal that RKPM using introduced methods is free of locking and very effectively applicable to deep beams as well as shallow beams.
